Spinal cord meeting (March 10-15, 2025) in Okinawa

Dear friends and colleagues,

On behalf of the organizers, I wish to bring to your attention “Spinal cord formation, function, and beyond” meeting to be held on March 11-14, 2025, at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) in Okinawa, Japan.

Website: https://www.oist.jp/conference/spinal-cord-formation-function-and-beyond

The aim of the workshop is to cover all aspects of spinal cord development, circuit formation, and function, as well as to extend the discussion to related areas of developmental neurobiology. Our goal is to bring together a diverse group of people to discuss molecular and cellular approaches to study nervous system development, neuronal circuit formation and function, as well as neurological diseases. The program will feature formal talks and informal opportunities for networking, and we have invited leading researchers in the field from Asia, North America, Europe, and beyond to engage in stimulating scientific dialogue and forge new collaborations.
